Bhumi
Consultant — Schools of Excellence Program (Sports, Arts & Co-Curricular Vertical)
Be an Early Applicant
Design and manage Bhumi’s sports, arts, and co-curricular program across government schools in Chennai. Responsibilities include government and school stakeholder engagement, program design, coaching quality oversight, partner coordination, student participation and performance tracking, dashboard and report creation, and capacity building for coaches and teachers. The role requires autonomy, data comfort, and willingness to travel to partner schools.
About the Role
Bhumi's Schools of Excellence Program strengthens holistic student development in select government schools
through structured Sports, Arts, and Co-Curricular programming. This role sits at the intersection of program
design, government liaison, and data-driven program management, working closely with government officials,
school leadership, and coaching/facilitation partners to build a model that enables excellence in student
participation, skill-building, and achievement beyond the classroom.
We're looking for a generalist with genuine interest and some experience in the sports and/or arts space —
someone who understands how school-level sports, arts, and co-curricular programs work, can speak the
language of coaches and instructors, and can translate that understanding into a program that works at scale in
a government school system. You don't need to have competed or performed at a high level yourself; what
matters is a real interest in this space and the ability to design and manage a program around it.
Key Result Areas (KRAs)
- Government & Institutional Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as Bhumi's primary point of coordination with
HMs, DEOs, Physical Education/Arts faculty, and coaching or facilitation partners. Build and sustain
relationships that keep the program credible. - Sports/Arts & Co-Curricular Program Design & Oversight: Design and refine the coaching/facilitation
model — content structure, session pacing, and coach/mentor inputs — drawing on interest, exposure, or
experience in sports and/or arts to keep the model realistic and effective for government-school students. - Data Analysis & Performance Monitoring: Track student participation, attendance, and skill/performance
progression across schools and disciplines (sports, arts, other co-curricular activities). Build simple, usable
dashboards/reports that help identify what's working and course-correct quickly. - Coaching Quality Assurance & Capacity Building: Monitor the quality of coaching/facilitation delivery
across partner schools. Work with coaches, instructors, or teachers to close gaps and maintain consistency
across sites and disciplines. - Reporting & Cross-Team Coordination: Prepare periodic updates for leadership.
Preferred
- A genuine interest in sports and/or the arts, along with some exposure to this space — as a participant,
volunteer, organiser, instructor, or through prior work/project experience, OR - Prior experience designing, managing, or coordinating a sports, arts, or co-curricular program or event,
even in a generalist capacity. - A reasonable working understanding of how school-level sports/arts ecosystems function (e.g., school and
district tournaments, annual days, exhibitions, co-curricular requirements) — you don't need to be a
domain expert, but you should be comfortable learning and engaging with this world. - Strong stakeholder management skills, ideally with exposure to government or institutional environments.
- Comfort working with data, building trackers, reading performance trends, and translating numbers into
decisions (Excel/Sheets fluency expected).
Other Requirements
- Based in Chennai; willing to work out of the DPI office as the primary base, with travel to partner schools.
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, early-stage program.
Other Information

- Remuneration: Rs. 4,50,000 – 6,00,000, negotiable based on the candidate's profile

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene
To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
